NBA fines Masai Ujiri $35,000 for outburst after Raptors-Heat melee

Masai Ujiri’s anger at the end of a Raptors loss in Miami last weekend has cost him $35,000.

The Raptors vice-chair was fined by the league on Wednesday for “approaching the scorer’s table and directing inappropriate remarks toward a game official,” the NBA announced.

Ujiri’s outburst came after the Raptors dropped a 112-109 decision to the Heat on Saturday, in a game that included a fracas involving Miami’s Caleb Martin and Toronto rookie Christian Koloko.

Martin was later suspended one game for driving Koloko into the baseline seats at FTX Arena. Koloko was fined $15,000 for his part in the melee, and Miami’s Nikola Jovic was suspended one game for leaving the bench area to take part in the fray.
